The “Progressive Dinner” alternates with the Tour of Homes as the guild’s major public fund raiser.

The Ticonderoga Festival Guild will mark a milestone this summer as its Arts Trek program celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Arts Trek is the series of free children’s programs held each summer by the guild.

“With a new audience about every five or six years, the 30-year history means that Arts Trek has entertained and impacted about five generations of younger children to date,” Cathie Burdick, guild executive director, said. “Last fall when new board members were recruited, one young woman came on board because she remembered attending the programs as a child.”

Arts Trek has become the centerpiece of the Ticonderoga Festival Guild, which was formed in 1980 to present performing arts in the Ticonderoga area.

Arts Trek will open with a birthday party on Tuesday, July 3, at 10:15 a.m. at the Knights of Columbus pavilion. Stephen Gratto and his sons, who have joined him in his act, will juggle, ride unicycles and walk tightropes.
